I quess it is not so bad price for me. I haven't seen the unit yet but he claims it has used very little. He is selling also OM2 + Zuiko 35/2,8 + Zuiko 100/2,8 + QuickAuto 310 flash + winder and Tamron 300/5,5. Is OM2 a good buy for wife who does not like auto_everything camera, but likes to take pictures with good composition and use a lot of time before relaesing shutter. I cannot afford to buy another M6. The whole package (Pradovit + OM2) has price around $800. Heikki P - -----Original Message----- CA2500 is the first large Leitz projector (Color Autofocus 2500) it has the same chassis, cooling system (two channel) as 2002, 2000, and same optics. Auto or manual focus, no LKM capability. HOWEVER This is a projector which brings the new slide behind (if going forward) or ahead (if reverse) of the slide being projected, and then it pushes the old slide out and the new one is positioned in the focusing stage. It is therefore the fastest slide change known to man, BUT if you have bad mounts, you will pay for that with jamming and once jammed you need repair and/or replacement of the ejector levers etc. How much can you get it for? Anything under $500 should be a bargain if you don't have a Leica projector. Everybody else, don't kid yourselves with the 300 and 600's: they are simply not in the same class. For slide temperature, and overall construction! Can't wait to see the new Carousels though!
